Miami Sunset¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S De Sousa| T: P J McBride| OR: 72| D

7/2

Was a relatively cheap purchase but showed a degree of promise on her debut at Chelmsford before winning over 6f at Yarmouth last month. That didn't look the strongest of maidens but opening handicap mark looks fair enough.

Form: 21

Fareeq^t²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: C Wallis| OR: 72| D

25/1

Landed a 6f Newcastle AW handicap for William Haggas a year ago but didn't really go on from that and was sold for 10,000 guineas earlier this summer. Better than the bare form suggests in two runs for new yard, so not dismissed.

Form: 12-5950

Otomo^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Keniry| T: P Hide| OR: 71| D

33/1

Only win from 11 starts to date came in a 6f handicap (good) at Brighton in May. Mainly tough going since then, though excuses for dismal latest effort. Still has it to prove on the AW.

Diable d'Or^b1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 71

3/1

Won over 5f at Chepstow last summer but hasn't really looked like adding to his tally in 10 subsequent starts, though was a close-up sixth here over 7f on his penultimate run. Hopes pinned on a shorter trip and a change of headgear.

Form: 445566

Mishaal¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: M Herrington| OR: 68| CD

11/4

Not the easiest to win with and is just one from 13 on the AW. Mark is beginning to fall though, and he wasn't disgraced when fourth of 10 behind Rousayan in a 7f Beverley claimer last time. Others still preferred.

Showmethewayavrilo⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: M S Saunders| OR: 67| BF| CD

11/2

Twice a winner over this C&D from only three attempts and has performed with credit on the turf at times this summer, including when a runner-up over an extended 5f at Bath last time. Feasibly-treated if putting best foot forward.

Form: 365432

Aragon Knight^h¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 66

50/1

Only win from 16 starts came over 5f at Lingfield well over a year ago and he was struggling when last seen in the spring. Probably best watched as he reappears for a new yard.

Form: 37-7378

(9)

Robbie Roo Roo^t,v⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 60| C| D

5/1

Came good around this time last season, winning at Redcar and Wolverhampton, and she also added to her tally with a win over 7f here in June. Placed in both starts since, she should remain competitive off her present mark.

Form: 532132

Fleeting Glimpse²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 57| CD

40/1

Won over C&D when trained by Andrew Balding earlier this season but a subsequent change of yard hasn't really worked out, though there were glimmers of improvement at Wolverhampton last time. Others more likely.

Form: 146905

Forecasts

Mishaal (11/4), Diable d'Or (3/1), Miami Sunset (7/2), Robbie Roo Roo (5/1), Showmethewayavrilo (11/2), Fareeq (25/1), Otomo (33/1), Fleeting Glimpse (40/1), Aragon Knight (50/1)

Yarmouth maiden winner Miami Sunset looks feasibly-treated for her handicap debut and is an obvious player but SHOWMETHEWAYAVRILO is a proven C&D performer and showed enough at Bath last time to suggest a return to winning ways is imminent. Robbie Roo Roo looks the pick of the remainder.
